De Lille vs DA case referred to Electoral Court The Cape Town High Court has referred the telemarketing case between Good party leader Patricia de Lille and the Democratic Alliance (DA) to the Electoral Court.
De Lille concerned the message could derail her new party's election campaign.
The Cape Town High Court has referred the telemarketing case between Good party leader Patricia de Lille and the Democratic Alliance to the Electoral Court. Judge Robert Martin believes the Electoral Court is most appropriate to deal with the matter as the dispute is of a political nature. De Lille had applied for an urgent interdict to order the DA to publicly apologise to her for telling voters she was fired from the party when she had resigned and quit as Mayor of Cape Town last year. She’s concerned the message could derail her new party’s election campaign.
We’re happy that the court had read the papers & today understood the context of the case. The judge was clear that the IEC is a constitutional structure & that the IEC made a finding that the DA’s statements are false. That finding stands. The DA are still blue liars.
